Functional Rehabilitation
Published in James Crossley, Functional Exercise and Rehabilitation, 2021
Many clients experience ‘soft tissue injury’, a muscle strain or fascial sprain. The causes of injury can be complex, but we can consider acute soft tissue injury to arise from one, or a combination of the following four potential sources: OverloadConfusionOveruseUnderuse
Limbs

It can be difficult to distinguish a simple muscle strain from claudication. Muscular pains tend to produce discomfort as soon as the patient stands; claudication usually starts after the patient has walked a predictable distance.
Chronic Back Pain

Nonspecific back pain is extremely complicated because several pain pathways in the back may be implicated simultaneously. These include ligaments, facet joints, the vertebral periosteum, blood vessels, spinal nerve roots, and the paravertebral muscles (Deyo & Weinstein, 2001). Muscle strain may occur when the muscle fibers around the spine are overstretched or overused. Lumbar sprain occurs when ligaments are torn or overstretched; both types of low back strain lead to pain. Research has indicated that 97% of low back pain may have musculoskeletal involvement (Deyo & Weinstein, 2001; Weinstein et al., 2010).

This 39-year-old male started Body & Cancer approximately one month after his orchiectomy, on day 10 of his first cycle of BEP. (Supplementary File) Here cardiorespiratory fitness and muscular strength were assessed. On the third day of participation (day 18 in the first cycle) it was noted that he felt a muscle strain on the left hamstring muscles during the knee extension resistance exercise. Hereafter, he participated in two more exercise sessions at lower intensities where this muscle group was involved. On day 15 in the second cycle, he complained of pain in his left calf and a cold first toe which led to an investigation for thrombosis/embolism. Here, arterial pressures were normal and there were no signs of larger venous thrombi or embolisms. However, he started anticoagulation treatment (therapeutic dose) for a suspected thrombosis in the distal vascular supply to the 1st toe. Hereafter, he did not participate in any exercise sessions at Body & Cancer. This participant later developed an embolism in the left lower extremity and mural thrombi in the infrarenal aorta and right iliac artery. Consequently, he only received three out of four planned BEP cycles. Ultimately, a below the knee amputation was undertaken, approximately six months after the start of chemotherapy. Among clinical risk factors for TE, the participant had a long axis retroperitoneal lymph node >5 cm (6.9 cm) with compression of the inferior caval vein and right renal vein, IGCCCG intermediate prognosis group, elevated levels of serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) pre-chemotherapy and he smoked marijuana daily.

The most commonly injured body region was the lower extremity (75.1%), followed by spine/trunk (19.2%), upper extremity (4.7%), and head/neck (1.0%) (Table 2). The most commonly injured body parts were the foot (24.9%), ankle (15.5%), knee (15.0%), lower back (14.0%), and hip (13.0%). The most common injury diagnoses were muscle strain (20.7%), nonspecific pain (15.5%), tendinitis/tenosynovitis (10.4%), joint/ligament sprain (8.8%), and stress fracture (8.3%) (Table 3). Nonspecific pain was a label used for EMR diagnoses that were broad such as ankle pain, hip pain, knee pain, etc. The majority of injuries were a result of overuse (76.7%) rather than acute injuries (23.3%) (Table 4). Most injuries occurred during practice (87.7%) vs. competition (12.3%).

The Env.RFs (i.e., acoustic, lighting and thermal comfort) had different statuses in the three studied categories and there were significant differences between some of them (Table 2). Further investigation revealed that Env.RFs had no significant correlation with GF and FCI (GFa); therefore, they are not included in Table 3, panels A and B. However, contrary to the results of the present study, some researchers have reported significant and strong relationships between MF and Env.RFs. For instance, Brake and Bates [23] found that fatigue of employees who worked in an underground mine to be due to long work shifts and heat. In another study, Oska et al. [64] found a significant relationship between ambient temperature and reduction of the maximum voluntary contraction (one of the symptoms of fatigue). Moreover, the results of this study were in line with those of a study conducted by Sormunen et al. [65], who argued that MF or muscle strain did not have a significant correlation with Env.RF. In general, the high level of satisfaction of the subjects with their environmental conditions justifies the lack of a strong correlation between Env.RFs and MF or GFa.
